I’m gonna cross this street!’, and in the end it was fine!! But I must tell you that it did take quite some courage to get used to it.. Everybody just runs into each other.

A: During the domination by the Ming Chinese (1406 – 1428), a fisherman named Le Than lived on the Chu River in Thanh Hoa Province. One night, Than’s net felt heavy when he hauled it up; he grew excited, thinking he’d caught a big fish. However, Than soon saw that his “catch” was only an iron bar like a blunt knife without a handle. “Ah me.” Than sighed. “My only catch tonight is a worthless piece of iron!” Than threw the bar away. Another night, Than cast his net in another section of the Chu River. After a while, seeing the water bubble, Than pulled up his net but found only the same iron bar. Angry, he threw it away once again. Then came another night; Than went fishing late. At cock’s crow, he pulled up his net and, feeling it with his hands, found the same iron bar. However, this time he decided not to throw it away. Than pulled the iron bar on to the deck of his boat and lit a fire to take a closer look. Now, he could see more clearly.

“It’s a sword blade!” he exclaimed.

At this time, people from all over the country were joining Le Loi’s army to fight the Chinese. Every night, Le Than heard blaring horns and the commanders’ voices shouting to their soldiers on the banks of the Chu River. He looked at his sword blade and said to himself, “God wants me to help save my country.”

Than abandoned his boat and joined Le Loi’s army. One evening, the army stopped to spend the night in the forest. Than was on guard duty when Le Loi, who was passing by, saw something shining. Out of curiosity, Le Loi stopped at Le Than’s camp. Le 111an took down the sword blade and showed it to Le Loi, who stared at it.

Soon after that night, Le Loi and his followers lost a battle; they retreated into the forest, each man finding a place to hide. Le Lai took shelter on the branch of an old banyan tree. He noticed streaks of light on a nearby branch: these looked like fireflies or the flashing scales of a python. Le Lai slid over for a closer look. At first sight, he mistook the strange light for a phosphorescent centipede on a piece of rotten wood. He picked up the object; it turned out to be a sword hilt made of horn. Its inlaid gems glistened.

Le Loi remembered the sword blade he’d seen in Le Than’s camp and tucked the hilt into his belt.

When the army reassembled, Le Loi told everyone about the hilt he’d found in the forest. He took out the hilt and matched it with Le Than’s blade. The two fit perfectly. Le Than and everyone else knelt.

“God has bestowed on you this magic sword!” the men shouted.

Le Loi’s army regained its strength and pressured the Ming troops into retreat. Using his magic sword, Le Loi won battles against the invaders until the Ming finally surrendered. After ten years of fighting, Le Loi’s army achieved its glorious victory in 1427. Le Loi became king and unified the nation; the people lived in peace.

One beautiful day Le Loi took a boat trip around the Luc Thuy (Green Water) Lake in the centre of the capital. It was early autumn; the lotus leaves were as green as the water’s surface. Suddenly, a huge tortoise emerged from under the lotus leaves. It had a raised back and looked as black as a bamboo dingy. The tortoise swam slowly towards the king’s boat. Then it raised its body, clasped its two front legs together and bowed.
“Now that you have restored peace to the nation.” the tortoise said, “please return the sword to our God of the Waters.”

Le Loi immediately took the sword from his belt and respectfully raised the weapon above his head. Then he bowed. The tortoise accepted the sword and disappeared into the water, but the luster of the sword remained and spread over the surface of the lake. Ever since that time, the lake has been named Ho Guom (Sword Lake) or Ho Hoan Kiem (Restored Sword Lake).

Q: How long does it take to fly from Brisbane to Hanoi?

A: It depends really on the airplane, or how close or far apart the to locations are. Time is an element that not everyone can tell. Brisbane to Hanoi, that may or may not be far. I suggest that you go to an airport yourself and find the flight times, how long you will be on the plane to Hanoi, and when you’ll arrive there. And if you find out a flight time for how long you’ll be on the airplane, thats how long it’ll take. But, airplanes are unpredictable. You could have a late flight, or difficulties just because one thing, person, or flight attendent ( also could be piolet). But technically, if you go to an airport instead of being lazy and asking people on the internet.
